As always there are ten different methods to do something in Notes. I think that just disabling the Delete-key for document deletion is a poor man's solution. The user already knows all about deleting documents in his mail-file. This standard method to remove documents is suddenly disabled, in favour of some "clumsy" button on the screen. Second-choice approach.
First choice to me still is to enable soft deletions: supported entirely by Notes, changes Modified-time but probably doesn't add a name to $UpdatedBy. Yes, indeed, it requires more understanding and maybe some different coding, but it's standard and close to normal behaviour.
So, if you need a quicky, go for disabling the key, but if you want a good solution, go for soft deletions.

Here's some code I throw into Database Resources -> Database Script -> QueryDocumentDelete() to prevent deletion.
Sub Querydocumentdelete(Source
Continue = false
Messagebox "Deletion is not allowed",,"Notice!"
End Sub
You can test certain fields or roles or anything else for that matter here if you have requirements

buttonclicked:="true"
and as bozzie said use querydocumentdelete and write this code:
if buttonclicked <> "true" then
msgbox "Pls come via the trash button"
continue =false
end if
